Around one-third of Ireland’s 100 or so species of bees are at high risk of extinction, largely due to habitat loss and a shortage of flowering plants. Recent monitoring data paints a similarly worrying picture. Citizen scientists involved in the All-Ireland Bumblebee Monitoring Scheme have recorded that five of Ireland's eight most common bumblebee species are now in decline, underlining concerns about the long-term health of pollinator populations.

Known for his stunning photos of wildlife and landscapes, as well as co-founding SeaLegacy alongside fellow conservationist and photographer Cristina Mittermeier, Paul Nicklen has traveled the globe to not only highlight our planet's phenomenal biodiversity but also to shed light on its increasing vulnerabilities due to the ongoing climate crisis.

Peat bogs provide huge value to humans and the environment. When healthy, they store twice as much carbon as all the world's forests, reducing global emissions.
